Large Capital is Vital
. Whether your lawyer or your doctor has much or
little money is immaterial to you.
The quality or their service does not depend on
Capital.
But your bank that is different, for no amount
of personal willingness on the part of your banker,
can take the place of the ability to serve that goes
only with the possession of large capital.
With these facts in mind the $24)0,000,00 Capi
tal of this Bank becomes a matter of serious import
in choosing a Bank. I

the air; the other was caught in the lo
comotive guard and Was broken into

the thirty-five passengers were thrown
about when the air brakes brought it to
a sudden stop. - -

The County Sunday Schoojmmvention
to beheld here on Thurudajr 2nd Jnne
promises to be the beginning of an in
terdenominational movement, which in
time will affect every Sunday school in
Craven county Its purpose is to broad
en the horizon and deepen the interest
of all Sunday school workers, by bring
ing them together in an ann jal gather
ing to exchange ideas and methods of
Sunday school work. Being interdeno
minational, it has not only the strength
of its allied State, International and
World's. Associations behind it, but al
so the combination strength of ail the
Evangelical Denominations. Thus the
County Association is no small affair,
it is not a stray key but-belongs to a
whole bunch of krya, which- in turn is
linked to alt the denominations.- The
Organiz d Sundsy School work is so
magnified these days that the Sunday
school is no longer a child's institution
though it la an institution for children
but it is a man's work and worthy of a
man's best thought and attention. Its
various departments take hold of life in
alt its stages, from the. cradle roll of the
wee little tots to the Home Department
of the old aged and invalid. In the
convention here on the 2nd. day of June
the work of all the departments of the
Modern Sunday School Movement will
be presented, and the State Association
will have representatives present to
present expert adv ice on various Sundsy
school problems. The local cooperating
committee, consisting of one represen
tative from each, denomination in
the to n, is preparing a program
for the Convention and a largo and
representative gathering from the
schools throughout the county is ex
pected.

Will Be Tried in Wash-

Washington, Msy 21 Theoeore H.
Price of New. York, the "cotton king,"
indicted here for connection with the
cotton leak" scandal of 1908, cannot
be prosecuted in the District of Colum
bia, according to a ruling of the Su
preme Court of the District.
He is the only one of the four men
charged with conspiracy in connection
with the cotton leak who will not have
to face a jury-here. Frederick A Peck-
ham, Moses H Haas, of New York, and
Edwin S Holmes, Jr. of this city, al
though relieved by the court's action of
the 1908 indictment, will still have to
answer the old indictment returned in
1006. Holmes was once tried under
these indictments, but the jury disa
greed. Peekham and Haas sought by
habeas corpus proceedings to attack the
1935 indictment and to be released from
custody because a New York court on
removal proceedings had declared the
indictment charged no offense.

Total Eclipse ol the Moon.
An interesting astronomical event of
the month will be the total ellipse of
the moon which will occur tomorrow
night.
This time the hour is more conveni
ent for the majority of people, and
doubtless there will be many gazing at
Luna from papa's front yard. The
moon, will enter the earth's penumnra
at 2-11 The shadow of the earth is one
million miles long and at the point where
the moon passes through it is four thou
sand mites in diameter, so that the
moon will travel these four thousand
miles plus the distance the earth trav
els during the time of the eclipse in 2
hours and 15 minutes. At 1:25 the
moon will be entirely Inst in Mother
Earth's shadow. Should the skies be
clear the eclipse will be one of the pret
tiest that you will have an opportunity
ot observing during the present year.
